Lieberman, MD, and Georgetown University lecturer Michael E. Long present a potentially life-changing proposal: Much of human life has an unconsidered component that explains an array of behaviors previously thought to be unrelated, including why winners cheat, why geniuses often suffer with mental illness, why nearly all diets fail, and more.

Often regarded as more of a myth and legend than man, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was many things throughout his storied life: student, activist, preacher, dreamer, father, husband. From his Atlanta childhood centered in the historically Black neighborhood of Sweet Auburn to his precipitous rise as a civil rights leader on the streets of Birmingham, Selma, and Montgomery, Dr. King would go on to become one of the most recognizable, influential, and controversial persons of the twentieth century.

A dopamina é o neurotransmissor que garantiu a sobrevivência dos nossos antepassados e que, ainda hoje, continua determinando a maioria dos nossos comportamentos. Graças a ela fomos à Lua, encontramos a cura de várias doenças e nos esforçamos para transformar o mundo em um lugar melhor. Mas ela também nos torna suscetíveis a arriscar nosso casamento por uma aventura passageira e é capaz de explicar por que o dependente químico está disposto a fazer qualquer coisa pela próxima dose.

Roaming the oceans in the prehistoric era were sharks that reached 70 feet in length, with teeth the size of shovel blades. Imagine a great white as big as a plane and you've got it. Megalodon ate killer whales for lunch and were unquestionably the most awesome predator in the ocean for millennia. An eating machine with fins the size of sailboat sails that a whaler's harpoon would bounce off of it like a toothpick. As "mega" as it possibly gets, explore Megalodon, the Great White Godfather.

Dopamine, “the molecule of more,” is the chemical in our brains that drives us to seek out newer and better things—the latest gadget, the coolest job, the perfect partner. But for many of us, it’s easy to get stuck in a cycle of never being truly satisfied. Because dopamine can only promise happiness. It can never deliver. That part is up to us.

While we can all recall Martin Luther King Jr. giving his "I Have a Dream" speech in front of a massive crowd at Lincoln Memorial, few of us remember the man who organized this watershed nonviolent protest in eight short weeks: Bayard Rustin. This was far from Rustin's first foray into the fight for civil rights. As a world-traveling pacifist, he brought Gandhi's protest techniques to the forefront of US civil rights demonstrations, helped build the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, led the fight for economic justice, and played a deeply influential role in the life of Dr. King.

Are we being taken by beings from outer space or another dimension? A troubling phenomenon has been occurring for centuries - countless individuals have very real memories of being taken secretly against their will by nonhuman entities, many being subjected to complex physical and psychological procedures. A large number of experiencers tell tragic tales of being taken against their will which is frightening enough, but what if our own government is aware of abductions and are powerless to prevent it?

Project Blue Book was the catalyst to the modern day UFO cover-up that still exists today. The startling fact is we may be in the same position now as then, as it relates to the phenomena. We are still in an age of denial about the magnitude of this phenomenon and what its implications mean for all mankind. Perhaps there are secret factions that have indeed communicated with alien entities and have received technology from them. But from the outside looking in, it appears nothing has changed.

A master strategist and tireless activist, Bayard Rustin is best remembered as the organizer of the 1963 March on Washington, one of the largest nonviolent protests ever held in the United States. He brought Gandhi's protest techniques to the American civil rights movement and played a deeply influential role in the life of Martin Luther King, Jr., helping to mold him into an international symbol of nonviolence.

Fred Rogers was one of the most radical pacifists of contemporary history. To critics who dared call him “namby-pamby”, Rogers said, “Only people who take the time to see our work can begin to understand the depth of it.” This is the invitation of Peaceful Neighbor, to see and understand Rogers’ convictions and their expression through his program. Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, it turns out, is far from sappy, sentimental, and shallow; it’s a sharp political response to a civil and political society poised to kill.

According to Martin Luther King, Jr., Jackie Robinson was “a sit-inner before the sit-ins, a freedom rider before the Freedom Rides.” According to Hank Aaron, Robinson was a leader of the Black Power movement before there was a Black Power movement. According to his wife, Rachel Robinson, he was always Jack, not Jackie—the diminutive form of his name bestowed on him in college by white sports writers. And throughout his whole life, Jack Robinson was a fighter for justice, an advocate for equality, and an inspiration beyond just baseball.
